‘We need to give it more attention’. Educators’, students’, and social work apprentices’ experiences of teaching and learning child-centred recordkeeping
Maintaining records about children and families who are the subject of social work intervention is a routinized aspect of everyday practice and has been recognized as vital in protecting children from harm and promoting their wellbeing. There is evidence that the fast-paced nature of statutory social work, as well as bureaucratic demands and difficulties with writing, can inhibit workers’ capacity to keep child-centered records, with inadequate r…
Enabling Child‐Centred Case Recording in Children's Social Work
Maintaining case records is an essential and necessary component of children's social work practice. Research and child abuse enquiries internationally have highlighted the need for child‐centred and participatory approaches to case recording, yet consistently highlight significant deficiencies in child‐centred case recording. This paper presents findings from a mixed‐method study that sought to explore practitioners' experiences of child‐centred…

In this article, I take a critical approach to the marginalisation of the grief experienced by first mothers who have experienced the non-consensual adoption of a child in England, in a context within which welfare benefits and services intended to support the most disadvantaged families have been dramatically curtailed. With reference to the concepts of disenfranchised grief and ambiguous loss, and in light of some identified parallels between t…

Over the last decade, at a time when funding for services intended to support families has been dramatically curtailed, successive governments in England and Wales have sought to increase the numbers of children being adopted from care. In light of the central role that children’s social workers play in progressing plans for adoption, this research seeks to investigate 15 practitioners’ experiences of operating within the current context. Evidenc…
